In the last days I received some extra money, share from my insurance, that I wasn't expecting, which arrived very welcome.
To cheer me up from the sad moment, I decided to invest part of it in a few lenses.
I found some bargains, part on Ebay and part from a person I met who lost his father too and he used to have a photo shop, now his family is selling the shop stock before closing it down.
From the Ebay (from an Italian private), I got a Zenitar 16mm with Canon EF mount (I wasn't aware that they existed), it should arrive next week, I hope it's OK, I never heard reports of this lens with the Canon EF mount before, now I found it exists - I paid it less then half the price it's sold on sites like rugift or dvdtechnikk.
Also from Ebay, Italian private, I got a mint condition MIR-1 aluminium finish with the "Brussels" engraving, I only paid it 29 Euros, it looks like new, I think it was a good bargain for my collection since I only have the newer black version (the MIR-1V)
Finally, from the photo shop guy, I got an incredible bargain on a "secret" lens, which is NEW packed and with available guarantee. I say secret because I still have to complete the transaction, when I will have it in my hands I will tell you about it 
And finally there's still that Kaleinar from Ukraine - I am still waiting for the seller to come back to her office (sigh)
This is the MIR-1:

er... I'm afraid no, the Zenitar guy was a private from Ebay.

Congratulations, Orio. Nice new acquisitions!
I'm eagerly waiting to hear more about the "secret" lens, must be a cracker!
As far as the Zenit 16 (EOS-mount) is concerned, I have read some articles that sometimes those versions have some problems to focus on infinity. I hope you can clear up this rumour and that you won't have a problem.

I feared something like that when I saw the price, too low for this lens 
Anyway the seller says it comes together with a separate M42 mount - the mount is interchangeable. Should I have trouble with the Canon mount I can try to have the lens serviced and mount the M42 mount.

Don't worry, you'll probably be fine. With an exchangeable M42-mount it surely will work (then it is like any other Zenit-16 /M42). And with the EOS-mount you can easily work around, even if it didn't work properly. Use the lens at f8 and with such a 16mm lens you will have infinity...

It just looks like. It's only the surface. When these things happen to you, you can only wear a mask and go on.
Inside it's different.

@ Orio: Attila's right even though it might not seem like fun and you might not feel like having any. Everything you're doing at the moment is a step forward - you're buying lenses again, you've started a "Mystery" theme photo submission thread, you're posting on here...
You'll get there...
Is your mystery lens a Distagon 25...?
A Distagon 21 even...?  |

Yes, but there are moments where the whole photography and lens thing seems pointless compared to the huge loss. It's difficult, I had another difficult time in my life with my divorce but that was different, there still was a perspective to fill the empty, now there's that word "forever" that is difficult to cope with.
But that's talk not for this forum.

No, I already have the Contax version, true I would like the newer version but it's something that will have to wait.
| Quote: |

No, a 1500-2000 Euros lens is definitely beyond my financial possibility.
Besides, I'm not fully convinced by the samples I have seen. It's certainly sharp, but my Flek does architecture better.
